The light is a pita.

Try to gently unclip the translucent white cover - it does unclip so you can change the overhead bulbs. Once off, this gives access to an indented area wherein sits the center lamp - this indent offers some purchase on the unit. You can put your thumb into the center lamp indent and gently push the unit toward the rear which should make a very thin opening between the front edge of the light unit and the cutout hole.

*If I remember correctly*, think of the clips as centered on the small round lights; you can push the clip at maybe 3/8-to1/2 inch from the bottom of the unit - but its been a couple weeks.

When one side does unclip you will know it. Maybe pulling harder works, but when I pressed the clip right I could tell and did not need to pull. You'll want to wedge something thin into the side that comes free so it doesn't clip back into place while you do the other side .

Best of luck.
